Transforming your garden into a personal fitness oasis is an exciting journey. With Rockwood Garden Studios, creating a garden gym means you can skip the drive to the public gym and enjoy a workout in the comfort of your space.
Whether early in the morning or late at night, your fitness routine becomes incredibly flexible. Our guide will walk you through every step, from planning to the joy of using your own garden gym.
Whatever your fitness goals are, a home garden gym can help you meet them.
There are many benefits to investing in a garden gym room, including convenience and the ability to create a private space. These rooms are more than just structures; they’re places that can promote health, improve your wellbeing, and save money in the long term.
One of the main advantages of a garden gym is the opportunity to create a space tailored to your fitness journey. Unlike public gyms, your garden gym can be personalised with your preferred equipment and design elements, ensuring every workout is enjoyable.
We take pride in offering customisable garden gym rooms that reflect your personality and inspire your fitness routine.
This personalised approach extends to selecting workout equipment, flooring, and interior design, allowing you to create a space that truly motivates you.
Whether you include inspirational quotes on the walls or strategically place mirrors, your garden gym becomes a sanctuary for physical and mental well-being.
The convenience of stepping into your garden for a workout without the need for a time-consuming commute is a game-changer. This not only saves precious time but also removes barriers to regular exercise.
With a garden gym, you can easily fit workouts into your busy schedule, making fitness a more integral part of your daily routine. Garden gyms are designed to be accessible and fully equipped to meet your fitness needs, ensuring you have everything you need for an effective workout just moments away.
The 24/7 accessibility of a garden gym means your workout schedule is never at the mercy of gym opening times. Whether you’re an early bird or a night owl, your garden gym is always ready when you are.
This flexibility encourages consistency in your fitness routine, a key factor in achieving and maintaining your fitness goals. Our garden gym rooms are designed to be comfortable and inviting, regardless of the time of day.
With considerations for heating, lighting, and ventilation, your garden gym becomes a space where you want to spend time, making your fitness journey enjoyable and sustainable.
Choosing between a garden room gym and a traditional home gym involves considering factors like space, privacy, and each option’s unique benefits.
We believe that garden rooms offer a distinctive advantage. They provide a dedicated and secluded space away from the distractions of home life, which is conducive to a focused and effective workout.
Garden gym rooms offer unparalleled privacy and the ability to create a fully customised workout environment. Unlike traditional home gyms, which may need to share space with other home activities, garden gyms are designed from the ground up with your fitness goals in mind. This dedicated approach ensures a more personalised and effective workout experience.
Additionally, Rockwood Garden Studios’ garden gym rooms are designed to blend with your outdoor space, offering a retreat that enhances your fitness journey and the aesthetics of your garden.
With customisation options, including cladding and optional extras, your garden gym becomes a seamless extension of your home, reflecting your personal style while promoting health and well-being.
Before installing a garden gym, consider your fitness goals, as they will influence your design and equipment choices. The possibilities are endless, and we’re here to help you tailor your garden gym to your specific needs.
Moreover, the integration of natural light, optional extras, and selecting the right cladding play a significant role in creating an environment that motivates you and blends seamlessly with your garden’s aesthetic.
Our expertise ensures that every garden gym room we design perfectly balances functionality and style, making your fitness journey effective and enjoyable.
Understanding planning permission and building regulations is a crucial first step in creating your garden gym. Garden buildings often fall under ‘permitted development,’ which means they may not require planning permission.
However, this depends on several factors, including size and intended use. We can help navigate these requirements, ensuring your garden gym complies with all local regulations. For more information on planning permissions, visit the UK Government’s Planning Portal.
It’s also important to consider building regulations, which ensure the structure’s safety and effectiveness. These regulations cover structural integrity, insulation, and electrical installations.
Our team ensures that every garden gym room we construct meets and often surpasses these regulations, providing a safe and durable fitness space. And, if there’s a slight chance you will require planning permission, we’ll support you through the process.
Choosing the right garden room is crucial for a satisfying garden gym experience. If your main focus is on strength building, you’ll want a room that incorporates a variety of exercise equipment, including weights.
However, if you’re more interested in yoga and Pilates, you can create a functional space that aligns with your needs. Some people prefer to create an all-in-one solution, using the room as a gym and insulated garden office.
There are so many choices, but our experts will work closely with you to find a garden gym room that complements your fitness routine and your garden’s aesthetics.
Selecting the perfect spot for your garden gym involves considering several factors, such as ground conditions, accessibility, and exposure to natural light.
A location that maximises daylight can enhance your workout experience and make the space more inviting. We specialise in designing garden gym rooms that complement your outdoor space, ensuring the location works in harmony with your garden’s layout and your home’s aesthetics.
Privacy and noise insulation are also important considerations, especially if you include heavy gym equipment or high-intensity workout routines.
Our team considers these factors, ensuring your garden gym is positioned to minimise any disturbance to your household and neighbours while also providing you with a secluded spot to focus on your fitness goals.
We offer a range of soundproofing options to further enhance your garden gym’s privacy and comfort.
You’ll also need to consider which additional features you’d like to include in the garden gym building. For example, standard flooring might be suitable for light usage, but if you’re installing heavy weights and other equipment, the flooring should be shock-absorbent and highly durable.
Although reinforced flooring is more expensive, it can also prevent structural damage and ensure you can enjoy impactive workouts.
Many garden gyms also require power sockets for electrical equipment, including treadmills, lighting, and wall-mounted speakers. LED lighting can be beneficial during winter months, as it ensures you can work out and enjoy complete visibility.
The main drawback of an outdoor gym is the cold weather, but garden rooms provide extra protection from the elements. However, if you live in a colder area or plan to use the gym in winter, we’d recommend installing double glazing.
Not only does this keep the space warm, but it also prevents exterior noise from disrupting your workouts. Triple glazing is more expensive, but it’s a good option for homes in built-up urban areas that experience a lot of noise.
When you install glazing, you also have more control over the style of your windows. For example, floor-to-ceiling windows can let in maximum light, and double or triple-glazing minimises noise exposure.
When you book a consultation with Rockwood Garden Studios, our experts will explain how we can help you create the perfect home gym and maximise your garden’s available space. We go out of our way to ensure a convenient installation process and aim to complete most projects in two weeks.
Here’s how it works:
The first stage is to discuss your needs based on the type of garden gym you’d like to create and how much space your garden has. Our specialists will assess your garden and design a building based on permitted development rights.
Ultimately, your available space and property type will define the type of room you can create, but we do everything possible to find the perfect solution for your needs.
During the planning process, you can also design the room’s layout and add extra features, such as weight racks, internet connections, and storage solutions.
Why settle for a prefab garden gym when you can have a bespoke structure built to your unique specifications? At Rockwood Garden Studios, we pride ourselves on crafting beautiful buildings that align with your space requirements and style preferences.
Our experts go out of their way to find the perfect solution for your needs. Yes, custom buildings are more expensive, but they also last longer and blend seamlessly with your garden.
We install the base before the main structure to ensure the ground has enough time to settle and create level foundations. Failing to install the base correctly could weaken the building’s structural integrity and expose it to safety issues.
Adding a concrete base ensures ongoing strength and durability, and we can customise the flooring according to your preferences.
We’ll install the garden gym room and any extra features, including lighting, flooring, and other fixtures. Depending on the complexity of your building, this process can take a few days, but we’ll give you a timeline and always complete it within that specified time.
Once we complete the installation process, we’ll explain basic maintenance requirements. Then, you can enjoy a bespoke workout space in your own backyard.
